This cache has been archived.

frog4peace: My one and only Multi-cache! Thanks for all who did the easy, cheesy work it took to make this find. I really just created this one to bring people to the Home of the Trojans and see the stadium where my son played football! Haha... proud mamma moments!

Peace

Geocache Description:

Welcome to my Friday Night Lights (FNL) Series, an 11 cache series dedicated to the Andover High School varsity football team, the Andover Trojans. This series will include a variety of containers and ratings, some easier than others, and all designed to inspire you to raise your level of play to that of the team.

This is a three stage multi. The posted coords will take you near the entrance of Andover High School... Home of the Trojans.

* * UPDATE * * 07/08/11 The original cache location has completely changed due to construction. There was originally a convenient pull-off near the cache for easy retrieval. Now there is a paved road and sidewalk in place which runs by the cache. There is a pull-off approximately 400 ft. west of the cache. Please use this to park instead of parking on the street or parking in the nearby neighbor's driveway! The container is still a cammo taped peanut butter jar and is now in the crotch of a tree just north of the cedars.

STAGE ONE: At the posted coordinates, you will find a sign listing the achievements of various Andover High School athletic programs. To get to the second stage, you will need to find on this sign the year associated with Football. Multiply the second and third digits of this year. Take this two-digit product, reverse the digits and multiply by ten. The final product will be your bearing to the second stage (For example, if the year is ABCD, the formula would look like this: B x C = EF. FE x 10 = Bearing). To get to the second stage, you will need to travel at that bearing for the length of a football field (goal line to goal line).

Year on the sign = __ __ __ __ (ABCD)
B x C = __ __ (EF)
FE x 10 = __ __ __ (Bearing to Stage Two)
Distance = __ __ __ yds.

STAGE TWO: From GZ of stage two, look to the west. You will see a large oddly shaped concrete structure. At the top of this structure is a number. There are also three words after this number. The coords for the final stage are as follows: N 37 42.GHI W 097 0J.KLM. For the North coordinates of the final, G = the last digit of the three digits on the sign. H = the first digit on the sign minus one. I = the second digit on the sign minus seven. For the West coordinates of the final, you will need to count the letters in each of the three words following the number on the sign. J = the number of letters in the first word. K = the number of letters in the second word minus the number of letters in the first word. L = the number of letters in the last word. M = the number of letters in the second word.

N 37 42.GHI W 097 0J.KLM = N 37 42.__ __ __ W 097 0__ . __ __ __

STAGE THREE: You are looking for a cammo taped peanut butter jar... with a bit of swag which is located a few miles away from stage two (an easy drive). FTF prize is an Anodver Trojans T-Shirt.


Good luck and may all of your caching (and football) dreams come true!
